Take your opportunity to speak to our future leaders. What advice would you give either candidate on what our service needs?

Put yourself in the shoes of our generals and high ranking civilian leaders and propose ways to improve the military, our country, civ-mil relationship or other pocketbook issues. This is not a quiet or unwise community so I know there are some great ideas out there.

Our services need both to step down and let someone neither criminal nor insane take the lead. I know you can't agree with me, Colonel, as a serving member, but...yeah. We need these buffoons to disappear. Both.

Stop giving Billions year to Israel and stop giving 553 Million a year to pay for the Afghan Islamic police force salaries and benefits.

Interact with the low-level workers and their supervisors, and listen to what they have to say. They're the ones in the trenches per se and have a pretty good idea of what's going on such that even today's technology cannot replicate. Keep seeking improvement within yourself. Be open-minded; even a buck private can cook up an effective three or even a four-stroke idea. The welfare and well-being of your workers should always be top priority.

Just good merits I've seen in top leadership both in my USMC and civilian jobs.
